The investigating judge of Santa Maria Capua Vetere has ordered the prison sentence for a couple from Santa Maria a Vico investigated for complicity in the aggravated voluntary homicide of their newborn baby girl.
The killer parents are 26 years old, he is 19, and the baby was just 45 days old. The crime, according to investigations by the Carabinieri, took place on September 2nd and it was the autopsy and the analysis of the couple's cell phones, which were immediately seized, that led investigators to the idea of infanticide.
The father allegedly violently hit the newborn, causing craniofacial trauma, which resulted in a bone fracture and a subdural hematoma in the left hemisphere.
But the two failed to take the child to the hospital and provide her with medical care and let her die of cardiac respiratory failure.

I wonder how it is possible that no one noticed what was happening. It is a real negligence on everyone's part.
It's a truly tragic story, it hurts to think about what could push parents to commit such an act.
